How Can I Go On - Freddie Mercury, Montserrat Caballé

When all the salt is taken from the sea

I stand dethroned

I’m naked and I bleed

But when your finger points so savagely,

Is anybody there to believe in me To hear my plea and take care of me?

How can I go on

From day to day

Who can make me strong in every way

Where can I be safe

Where can I belong

In this great big world of sadness

How can I forget

Those beautiful dreams that we shared

They’re lost and they’re no where to be found

How can I go on?

Sometimes I tremble in the dark

I cannot see

When people frighten me I try to hide myself so far from the crowd

Is anybody there to comfort me Lord… take care of me.

How can I go on

From day to day

Who can make me strong in every way

Where can I be safe

Where can I belong

In this great big world of sadness

How can I forget

Those beautiful dreams that we shared

They’re lost and they’re no where to be found

How can I go on?
